Strictly Come Dancing stars came out in force last Thursday to support Joanne Clifton, who starred in Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Stars of Strictly turned out in force last Thursday with names including Louise Redknapp, Lesley Joseph and Russell Grant showing their support to 2016’s winner Joanne Clifton.

Joanne starred in Thoroughly Modern Millie at the Waterside and this was the first opportunity her brother and fellow Strictly professional dancer, Kevin Clifton and wife Karen, were able to see the show due to being on the Strictly 2017 tour.

Joanne’s parents were also present alongside other dancers from the BBC 1 show including Neil and Katya Jones.

Winner of six Tony Awards, including best musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie is the delightful smash hit comedy set in New York in 1922, and based on the award-winning film.

The show delivers a brilliant evening of madcap merriment and stars Strictly Come Dancing’s Joanne Clifton as the adorable Millie. This hilarious musical comedy features spectacular dance routines and great song
